A miniservice is a small software service aligned with a business domain or function. It refines architecture into smaller modules to reduce release, deployment, testing, and ownership dependencies. section 13.3
Miniservices work as part of a wider socio-technical design: internal developer platform standards provide common conventions, event-driven patterns increase functional and technical decoupling, and scalable test environments support automated deployment tests. Standardization still needs to fit organizational constraints rather than suppress team innovation. section 13.3
La Redoute
La Redoute responded to release, deployment, and testing constraints by aligning modularity with business domains and functions. It combined miniservices with standard event-driven patterns, scalable test environments, and automated tests in every deployment pipeline. section 13.3
